Ok, finally found a fix on the boards:
Downloaded the msi installer as per above link and was able to install and run.
Persistence pays off.
Nice! That's good it worked for you.
Mine installs. Both EA App and msi installer work, but it "Oh Snap Crashes" every time and asks to restart a few times until it just freezes there on screen.
Tried everything listed in multiple posts on this site. Disabled antivirus and firewall. No VPN connection. Uninstalled, removed, deleted. Rebooted. Reinstalled through different downloads.
I also tried installing through the Xbox app since the game pass has Battlefield 1 too but it errors instantly.
I think it's happened so much that EA has stopped having the Send Crash Report box checked by default. They don't want to hear about issues.
EA's DRM is sooo good that even those who buy games from EA can't play them. Now that's security!
